Why is there a separate tool for creating text? It would be better to just click to place the cursor and start typing.
So that you can paste?

#12Great execution!
I understand the impetus to keep things simple. But PNG image export would be a tremendous boon to me. Should be trivial as you are just drawing text to the canvas, no?

As a workaround you can just take a screenshot (although that could get cumbersome with large diagrams).

#14There's also Monodraw, ASCII drawing with a native MacOS GUI and more advanced tools. https://monodraw.helftone.com/
Wow - I just love this! Thanks very much for the info - feels like a new pair of shoes for 2018 (coming from 15 years of omnigraffle)...

#15Wow, that smart resize tool is awesome, and makes this a good tool for roughing out dungeon maps. :)
Re: ASCIIFlow Infinity
#16Cool! I can use it to make some ASCII arts for my console applications. However, please change the icon of Freeform Drawing Tool. Because currently that icon make it looks like a Curve Drawing Tool in the first glance.
There is also a bug when you press a key during freeform drawing on Firefox Nightly. It doesn't properly set the active character. Works fine on Chrome though.

the freeform drawing is not that good, this works so much better http://www.jave.de/ - example trace I did with that https://pastebin.com/raw/8gedcN63
Re: ASCIIFlow Infinity
#18On similar lines,
I very recently discovered the combination of emacs + Artist Mode + ditaa for creating diagrams, and the experience has been pretty good so far too.
Re: ASCIIFlow Infinity
#19Awesome application! I used it in the past to draw ASCII diagrams for my blog posts (e.g. [0]) as I was looking for an alternative way to display "images". Still needs some tweaking for mobile usage, but on desktop it's just great because of the removed loading times for images.

Re: ASCIIFlow Infinity
#20Very cool! It would be awesome if it had a mode that used the unicode box-drawing characters too [0]. It can get a little tedious copy and pasting them and drawing things manually.
